...staffers knew that inflation and an unsound bond market threatened to put the housing out of the financial grasp of the tenants. Harvard volunteered a plan where an estimated $300,000 in costs per year could be shaved off the project, just enough to put RTH over the top. It was a simple suggestion--but one that was difficult for RTH to refuse. Harvard offered to supply the housing project with free steam, chilled water, and cooling from its own power plant, thus inextricably linking the two. RTH accepted early this year.

At the Agassiz (a wonderful theater, incidentally, with good acoustics and a sense of intimacy unique among Harvard's auditoria, even if it is structurally unsound), tonight, tomorrow...

He ignores the considerable data on the poor working conditions, health, education and housing of farm laborers and seems to imply that if workers have a permanent place o residence living and working conditions will be adequate. This is as factually incorrect as it is logically unsound...
